    You can hear from closer room everything. I mean everything. After 2 nights they asked me to pay Tax for 2023 what I didn't expected and they didn't say about it before my visiting. Then I leave my charge for laptop at room and asked about it after 2-3 hours when remembered, of course nobody knew about my lost and they didn't find anything. But I am sure that leave at the table.

    Clean, well equipped room. Hot water. They let me leave my luggage after checkout

    None. Will be good if hotel can provide both hard boiled and fried eggs instead of fried eggs only. Am giving rating of 9 as there is always room for improvements.

    Smooth check in. Clean big room with good air-conditioning and shower. We get rooms closed to each others as requested. Staff at reception were helpful and friendly especially Nick. Restaurants, cafes and eateries are just opposite the hotel and shopping is few steps away. Public transport is 200m away. it is within walking distance to Central market, Merdeka Sq, Jamek Mosque and River of Life. Daily breakfast comes with 2 types of cereals, milk, a fruit item, a noodle dish, a soup, chicken sausages, pototoes wedges (not so suitable for breakfast), fried eggs, both white and whole meal breads, butter, peanut butter and jam with tea and coffee.

    This is a value for money, Air Asia style, hotel. All the basics are there minus the luxury.

    No breakfast option but there was an abundance of food stalls outside so we certainly were not stuck. The curtain in the bedroom was difficult to open and close and people could view us in our rooms from the flats on the other side of the road, so little privacy. Curtains not the cleanest and neither was the carpet. If you want the luxury of the internationallly branded hotels like the various Hilton brands then this is not the hotel for you. If your hotel room needs are basic and all you really need is a good nights sleep in relative quiet then this is the hotel for you. If you want a hotel where you can spend all day in the room chilling and watching TV then this is unlikely going to suit you. If you want good value for money and are satisfied with having the basics this is the hotel for you.

    We stayed in the Tian Jing Hotel across the road which wasn't good value for money really but after our trip to Singapore we wanted to stay a couple of nights somewhere cheaper to pull back on our expenses. Before we left for Singapore we tried the 5 Elements Hotel as the Chinese members of our party wished to remain as close to Chinatown as possible. The price was very reasonable and when we saw the rooms we were pleasently surprised. The format of the rooms were like large 4 star hotel in size and shape but at a much more basic level. I guess you could say it was like no frills Air Asia or Ryan Air in Europe. All the bare essentialls were supplied but it definately was not luxury in any way. But it was around one fifth the price of Tian Jing Hotel which was classier in appearance and had real character. 5 Elements had little or no character or style but was a very functional hotel. After we stayed one night we dicided to stay longer and were pleasently surprised when we were told that the rooms would be even cheaper.

    Cleanliness in the toilet could use some improvement like tiles should be scrub from time to time.

    Value for money and location. Never in short of street food in its vicinity.

    I enjoyed my stay but have 2 minor gripes related to the room I was given: While I was pleased to be given a higher floor unit with a good view, the door of that 11-floor unit could only be closed with a very loud slam. Must have disturbed other guests. The aircon panel was unresponsive and I had to press repeatedly to change the settings. But, on the whole, I am very satisfied with my stay.

    Responsive, efficient staff. Requests for iron, ironing board, extra pillows, new batteries for the safe, toilet paper, umbrella when it rained outside, extra card key, etc. were promptly entertained. Very close to different kinds of good local food. A number of famous hawkers and cafes on the street itself. There are also 2 pharmacies and a 24-hr convenience store a few doors away.
